Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of the No Plateau Podcast. I am your host, Henry Hoffman. I am thrilled to be with you today. We are going to talk about activity-based therapy for spinal cord injury and neurologically impaired populations. Many of us have heard of task-specific training or task-oriented training, but what about ABT or activity-based therapy? So, to help me discuss and digest this topic, I’ve invited Darcy Pernoud, who is an OT and owner of Back to Independence Rehab in North Carolina. Her clinic is a gym model approach for neuro and spinal cord injury patients, and a big part of her treatment is activity-based therapy. So, we are excited to have her to discuss this topic today. Welcome, Darcy. How are you?
